The Exorcist Detective
Chapter 6 Parker and Dr. Connors
This time there were other passengers in the elevator. Parker wanted to speak several times, but Li Kang glared back. Finally, he reached the 77th floor. Surrounded by some bioengineering equipment and sophisticated electronic instruments, the quantum centrifuge belonged to Li Kang. The only thing I knew was from a magazine I read in a bar when I was bored. It was a magazine that specialized in introducing the latest and most fashionable contraceptive devices.
Scientists in twos and threes around were talking in low voices, and the content of the conversation was all biological science terms. Li Kang could occasionally understand words like DNA, lizard, spider, etc., but when combined, these contents were like a book written in alien characters. Li Kang knew that the contents of those dialogues were filled with infinite knowledge, but it was a pity that he had no chance to do so.
Not far away, a middle-aged man wearing glasses and with a gentle voice was explaining to a group of interns. The middle-aged man's explanation attracted everyone's attention. It seemed that no one noticed that the middle-aged man's right arm Empty, it turns out he is a disabled person.
"That's Dr. Connors. Many years ago, Dr. Connors lost an arm due to a scientific research accident, but he survived it and through years of biological genome and research, he successfully cured many incurable diseases. He is my idol, and my parents used to be colleagues. I have a lot of things I want to ask him." Parker looked at Dr. Connors with fascination.
Dr. Connors was handsome, spoke elegantly and was humorous. He had no airs at all. He looked like a high school biology teacher. He was indeed attractive. Parker couldn't help but take a few steps forward.
"First of all, on behalf of the Osborne Group, I would like to welcome you all. Today I am your explainer. Please don't pay attention to my right hand. After so many years of training, my left hand is already more flexible than my right hand. It is definitely not It will waste everyone's time." Dr. Connors moved his empty right arm somewhat self-deprecatingly, and the interns all smiled in approval.
"Everyone, I think since you are here, you must be interested in biotechnology. If your ambition is to be a mechanical engineer, please, you have gone to the wrong company. You should go to the Stark Group. Tony Stark is right, but I think you are all young people with ideals and disdain to associate with arms dealers, right?" Dr. Connors obviously has no good impression of the Stark Group.
It’s no wonder that although the two Osborne Groups and the Stark Group have different research fields, the Osborne Group has always been a leader in the biomedical technology industry, while the Stark Group is just an upstart arms dealer. There is a difference between the two in terms of realm.
In the past, the Stark Group was not comparable to the Osborn Group at all, but since Tony Stark took charge of the Stark Group, with its superhuman intelligence and infinite talent for arms design, the Stark Group has become more and more successful. In the field of arms, the Osborne Group has been completely suppressed and has become a powerful company that can compete with the Osborne Group. Therefore, the employees of the Osborne Group are somewhat hostile to the Stark Group.
Especially employees in the medical field looked down upon the Stark Group, which made a fortune by selling killing tools. Although Dr. Connors was very well-educated, he couldn't help but ridicule the Stark Group.
"Hahaha...yes!" This harmless joke completely relaxed everyone, and the atmosphere became lively.
Dr. Connors then used himself as an introduction to lead everyone into a lively discussion, "The ultimate goal of my research is to uncover the ultimate secrets of life itself, make up for all our own flaws, and create a world without flaws. These can only be achieved if The answer can only be found in biotechnology. For example, if I lost an arm due to an accident, it would be very easy for me to create a mechanical prosthesis for myself, but I don’t want to do that because it is just a prosthesis, not my real arm. , so if I really want to heal myself, what should I do?”
The students gave their own answers. Some said stem cell embryo technology, some said genetic cloning technology... and gave their own explanations.
"Well, everyone's answers are very close, but unfortunately they are not perfect. Life itself is of the same origin. Can we explore this aspect?" Dr. Connors asked.
"I think we should start with cross-species biological genetics." Parker didn't know where the link was wrong, so he actually stood up and gave his own answer. This attracted everyone's attention, including that one Gwen Stacey.
Gwen was shocked when she saw Parker, and she was shocked again when she saw Parker's ID card. She and Parker were classmates in the same high school. Speaking of which, there was some mutual affection between the two. There is an ambiguous feeling in it. When Parker was in school, he was often bullied, and Gwen often helped him.
It's a pity that Gwen is beautiful and the daughter of the New York City Police Chief. She is a celebrity in school, and her status is too far away from the unknown Parker. The gap in status caused Parker, who has extremely low self-esteem, to hesitate to take action.
This time leading the interns to visit and study is a very important opportunity for Gwen. Dr. Connors has promised Gwen's father to write a college recommendation letter to Gwen. There is such an authoritative person's recommendation. It was a sure thing that Gwen would go to the university of his choice, so although Gwen was surprised, after careful consideration, he did not expose Parker on the spot.
"Oh? This classmate has a very unique idea. Can you give some examples?
"A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Dr. Connors's mouth. Anyone could tell that he was very satisfied with Parker's answer.
"For example... Parkinson's syndrome is a trauma caused by the body's stem cells stopping secreting dopamine. Zebrafish DNA can replace the function of stem cells in secreting dopamine. If Parkinson's syndrome patients can obtain black grouper This part of the fish's genes can completely cure this incurable disease. Another example is the arm you lost, because cold-blooded animals such as lizards have powerful regeneration functions. If you can obtain this part of the gene, your arm can be regenerated. It’s not impossible.”
Parker did not look at other people, but stared at Dr. Connors with his eyes tightly, as if no one else existed. At first, he still stuttered a little, but with his mental concentration, he sometimes None of the stuttering disappeared.
The smile on Dr. Connors's face grew stronger and stronger. Gwen beside him also looked at Parker intently. The talkative Parker in front of him was really a luminous person. Compared with the introverted and stuttering Parker in school, They were completely two people. Gwen was deeply attracted by Parker's way of talking about science.
"Miss Gwen, please record this classmate's information. I think in the future, if possible, I will contact this classmate again, and maybe we can work together in the future." Dr. Connors's words made The interns were in an uproar.
Even Gwen couldn't help turning her head and glanced at Dr. Connors. You must know that although Dr. Connors looks very gentle, he is the most rigorous person when it comes to science. I have never heard of him taking the initiative. No matter who you praised, let alone record the information of a certain intern, especially the sentence "we may work together in the future", it has an earth-shattering effect.
"This classmate, please leave your information." Gwen came to Parker's side bravely.
"My name is Peter..." Parker was very nervous when he saw Gwen.
"Mr. Mosby, I'm really glad that you can come to participate in our internship." Gwen quickly stopped Parker's words. She looked around nervously and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the other interns didn't notice. , but caught a glimpse of Li Kang next to Parker.
"Miss Gwen, we meet again." Li Kang waved his five fingers in the air a few times and greeted him jokingly.
"Is it you? How did you get in?" Gwen felt a little short of breath. This work was of great significance to her. She thought she would just take some interns to visit and make some notes, but first she met her high school classmates. , and met Li Kang, a guy who was obviously not a high school student.
"He is an employee of the Osborne Group and escorted me in." Parker didn't know what was going on, so he took the initiative to help Li Kangyuan lie.
"He is an employee of the Osborne Group?!" Gwen finally couldn't hold it back and said very loudly, which immediately caused several people to look back.
Li Kang sighed, took out the magic tarot cards, and flipped through them.
Parker couldn't help but roll his eyes. He had also suffered from this tarot card. Although he didn't know the reason, he felt very unhappy when he saw that his sweetheart was about to be tricked.
"Osborne Group, employees of the warehousing department? It turns out that they are from the warehousing department. The warehouse is on the second underground floor. How did you meet them?" Gwen asked curiously.
The warehousing department turned out to be underground. Li Kang slapped his forehead. He was really stupid. The warehousing departments of all companies should be underground.
"We just met by chance. I thought he was an intern, so I kindly sent him up. You guys can chat first, and I have to go to work." Now that Li Kang knows the location of the warehousing department, he can't wait to fly there right away. With a small hard drive, download all the shipment records for this month, and the task will be completed.
"Wait, I'll go with you." Parker suddenly asked to go with Li Kang, causing both Li Kang and Gwen to stare at him strangely.
"Why do you want to follow me? I'm going to work, so you can be an intern obediently. Don't you and Miss Gwen like each other? Why don't you take advantage of this time to have a good chat? Young people must grasp Opportunity, do you understand?" Li Kang said angrily.
"Mr. Li Kang, don't talk nonsense. Before Parker and I... it was nothing." Gwen's pretty face flushed with embarrassment, her eyes avoided looking at Parker, but she flipped her hair with one hand.
That's the way girls are, if she really likes you, no matter how harsh her words are or how cold her expression is, as long as she flips her hair like this, it means she's not showing off, and it shows that she cares about you in her heart.
It's a pity that Parker doesn't understand this. "Miss Gwen is right. We don't have the kind of relationship you said. I must follow you."
"Why?" It was Gwen who asked this time.
"Because... Mr. Li Kang was kind enough to take me upstairs. I want to express my gratitude. I would like to treat Mr. Li Kang to a cup of coffee." Parker replied hurriedly.
"Do you have any money? The cafes around here are all very high-end." Gwen frowned and reminded kindly.
"I have money on me, don't worry." Parker's face turned red with embarrassment, obviously he didn't have any money on him.
Scientists in twos and threes around were talking in low voices, and the content of the conversation was all biological science terms.
